McLaren Triumphs at British GP 2025, Sauber Makes Surprise Podium
July 7, 2025 – Silverstone Circuit — In front of a roaring home crowd, Lando Norris and McLaren delivered a stunning performance to win the 2025 British Grand Prix, bringing the team’s first victory at Silverstone since 2008. But it was Sauber that stole the headlines with a shocking podium finish that left the paddock buzzing.
Race Highlights and Final Podium
- Lando Norris (McLaren) – Winner
- Oscar Piastri (McLaren) – P2

Rain played a factor early, but clear skies in the latter half allowed McLaren’s strategy to shine. Norris took the lead after a pit-stop under virtual safety car conditions and never looked back. Meanwhile, Hulkenberg held off Lewis Hamilton in the final laps to secure a historic podium for Sauber.
